Paper Summary:
Ursula Franklin, Nicholas Negroponte, and Peter Drucker explore different facets of the world of technology and its implications for human social and political development. In this paper, I will address how each of these authors approach technology and, in particular, modern information technologies such as computers, in an attempt to critically identify their most valuable arguments and insights. In this analysis, although all three have undeniable points of interest, it is clear that, if the basis of our judgement is knowledge and insight into computer technology, then Negroponte is, far and away, the most important of the theorists. While, as will be seen, I may agree with various points of the other writers' arguments, the weight of Negroponte's "informed" opinion tilts the balance of my analysis in his favour.More papers on Technology and Its Discontents:
